Score
Across the available record, Delicias Ice Cream has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2011. The newest entry in the record is dated Sep 14, 2018. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. The file hasn't been updated since Sep 14, 2018, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around seven violations each, up from closer to two violations before.
Looking across the full record, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Delicias Ice Cream's 61 doesn't quite reach. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
